Comment:

 The <pre> and <code> tags are quite different. Generally <code> is an
 inline [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1 phrase
 element] like <strong> and <em>, so it doesn't preserve white space or
 line breaks.

 The only HTML tag that preserves
 [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#whitespace white space] is
 <pre>, however there's a small bug in the js wpautop that eventually will
 remove some spaces if you switch Visual to HTML mode and back several
 times. I'm working on a patch for this for 2.5.1, until then, for best
 results format the inside of the <pre> tags from HTML mode prior to saving
 the post.
